Abstract

Using freeze-fracture techniques, we studied the fine structure of monkey lens fibers, with special reference to intercellular junctions. Gap junctions were frequently observed at the 'ball-and-socket' interdigitations, the 'tongue-and-groove' interdigitations, and between cortical lens fibers, while tight junctions were never apparent.
